The Standard for Quality in Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction

The D8 QUEST is a compact solution designed for single wavelength experiments that feature the revolutionary PHOTON II CPAD detector, bringing 4th generation free-electron laser (FEL) detector technology to your home lab. The systems offer high experimental flexibility, with good accessibility and sample visibility, in a small-foot-print enclosure.

It is engineered with high modularity from best-in-class components and is available in all-air-cooled configurations. As a result the D8 QUEST offers a solution that will exactly match the demands of your research needs. Best Structure guaranteed.

Intelligent Goniometer Control - 3D robotic path planning

Within the concept of DAVINCI.DESIGN the D8 QUEST and the D8 VENTURE use a revolutionary 3D robotic path planning algorithm to efficiently drive the goniometer, maximizing the system’s capabilities. The path planning software continuously checks the validity of the experimental setup. Hardware recognition identifies components like mirrors, collimators or beamstops automatically.

The intelligent beam path components store all important information about functionality, spatial requirements and dependencies with other components in a memory chip.

Adding the knowledge about the current position of each component provides an up-to-date 3D model of the system and allows the dynamic calculation of an efficient and safe goniometer driving path:

Adding or removing a component from the system is instantly updated in the instrument status and available for automated software path planning.

Obscurations of the detector by components of the goniometer are rigorously avoided and collisions are made impossible.

New hardware components can be added with no need for a firmware update.
